Edzell village lies about 6 miles
north of Brechin. It is situated on the North Esk and near
the West Water which falls into the Esk 2 miles south-west.
Edzell is on the threshold of very romantic Highland scenery.
The picturesque ruins of Edzell Castle lie a mile to the west
of the town. The church of the parish of Farnell, 3 1/2 miles
south-east of Brechin, was erected in 1806 after the model,
so it is stated,of the famous Holy House (Casa Santa) of Loreto
in Italy. It was here that the old sculptured stone giving
a version of the Fall was found. Between Farnell and Brechin
lies Kinnaird Castle, the ancient seat of the earl of Southesk.
